Trip to MOTAT

On Thursday room 12 and the rest of the Kauri Team went to 

MOTAT

( Museum of Transport and Technology)

It was such a Blast! Once we arrived everyone was filled with joy and excitement! Firstly, we all had our morning-tea before we got split up into our 4 groups to start our session with one of the educators, but before that we had a little roam around in the "Challenge Zone". Then we had our first session with one of the educators. We got taught about goats and what important roles they play as a goat. We got to pat them, and in return they had to sniff us because that was how they said Hello! Then the educator took us inside to a little room to teach us about how people in the olden days lived and worked, and not only we got taught about that but we also got to try on the cool little clothes that they wore in the olden days. It was so much Fun!

Next, the nice kind educator took us to our next session with a different educator. This educator got us   to make something similar to "Pavlova," but only with egg whites and vinegar. First we had to seperate the egg whites from the yoke, then we had to pour a little bit of vinegar. Next we had to mix it all together until it was white and lumpy. After that we had to put it upside down and check whether it would fall down or not, then on the count of 3 we all poured the vinegar at the same time and BOOM! It exploded like a volcano! It was so much fun! After that, we all went to have lunch before our last session.

  Our last session was with the same educator but a different topic, about mixing different chemicals to make a volcano. Later on we went into the Mirror Maze, which was "Awesome Sauce" because people kept running into the mirrors when they thought it was the way out. 

Overall we all had a good time and we all had fun!
